Migraine attacks are the third stage of migraine. During this phase people with migraines may experience a number of symptoms including a painful throbbing headache typically on one side of the head. These symptoms can last from 4 to 72 hours.
This tool is designed for people with migraine. Your final assessment will be based on the number of days you select. If you select 7+ days your final assessment will be based on 7 even though you may experience more than 7 migraine attacks per month.
Your result will be based on the number of hours you select. If you select 24+ hours, your final result will be based on 24, even though you may feel symptoms coming on more than 24 hours before the migraine attack starts.
The warning stages (also known as the prodromal or premonitory stage) is the first stage of a migraine. During this phase, the first signs or symptoms of migraine begin, such symptoms include changes in appetite, mood and, energy. This stage can occur up to 72 hours before the beginnings of migraine attack.
Your result will be based on the number of hours you select. If you select 48+ hours, your final result will be based on 48, even though your migraine attack may last more than 48 hours.
The final stage of a migraine, also known as the “postdrome” or recovery is characterized by symptoms that appear or continue after the attack has finished. These can be similar to those felt in the first stage of migraine and may include fatigue, weakness, and difficulty in concentrating.
Your result will be based on the number of hours you select. If you select 24+ hours your final result will be based on 24 even though it may take more than 24 hours after the migraine attack ends to start feeling yourself again.
